The artifacts constituting a software system are sometimes unnecessarily coupled with one another or may drift over time. As a result, support of software partitioning, recovery, and restructuring is often necessary. This paper presents studies on applying the numerical taxonomy clustering technique to software applications. The objective is to facilitate those activities just mentioned and to ...

A set of 86 bacterial cultures, including 30 strains of Vibrio cholerae, 35 strains of V. parahaemolyticus, and 21 representative strains of Pseudomonas, Spirillum, Achromobacter, Arthrobacter, and marine Vibrio species were tested for a total of 200 characteristics. Morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics were included in the analysis. Overall deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ...

mathematical simulation of flow toward drains is an important and indispensable stage in drainage design and management. many related models have been developed, but most of them simulate the saturated flow toward drains without a due consideration of the unsaturated zone. in this study, the two dimensional differential equation governing saturated and unsaturated flow in porous media is numeri...
